The least-squares estimators depend only on the observed responses and design, so the formulas in i still hold. Their variances and covariance need only the error covariance matrix, now . Therefore
For example the first formula follows from , and the second from . The formulas remain the same as before with ; this calculation does not establish independence or a normal distribution for the estimators.
